Description

Neighbor cell measurement method, electronic equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a neighbor cell measurement method, electronic equipment and a storage medium.

Background

In the current communication technology, when a User Equipment (UE) resides in any serving cell (e.g., a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) cell, a new radio/new air interface (NR) cell), the UE needs to be located for various possible needs or purposes of the UE (e.g., a certain function applied in the UE needs location information, etc.). For better positioning, the terminal also needs to measure the neighbor cells (such as the same-frequency neighbor cell, the different-frequency neighbor cell and the different-system neighbor cell) of the server cell to obtain the cell information (such as the neighbor cell ID and the signal quality parameter, or the physical cell ID and the cell signal strength) of the neighbor cells, thereby assisting in positioning. For the purpose of saving energy of the user terminal, the network side device configures neighbor cell measurement thresholds (including measurement thresholds of the same-frequency neighbor cell, the different-frequency neighbor cell and the different-system neighbor cell) of the neighbor cell for the user terminal in an idle state and a connected state. When the signal quality value of the service cell where the user terminal resides is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold of the neighbor cell, the corresponding neighbor cell is measured at the moment. When the value of the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the user terminal resides is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold of the neighbor cell, the corresponding neighbor cell is not measured.

In this way, in the case that the signal quality of the serving cell where the ue currently resides is good (the value of the signal quality parameter is greater than the neighbor cell measurement threshold), the ue may not be able to obtain enough neighbor cell information, so that the accuracy of the final positioning result is low.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can obtain enough neighbor information, and further the electronic equipment can finish positioning based on the sufficient neighbor information, so that the positioning requirement of the electronic equipment is met, the function of the electronic equipment with the positioning requirement can better provide services for users, and the use experience of the users is improved.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, in a case that the electronic device is in a connected state, the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information includes a first measurement threshold; in the case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor cell measurement threshold, the electronic device increases the neighbor cell measurement threshold so that the increased neighbor cell measurement threshold is greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, including: and under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target service cell is larger than the first measurement threshold, the electronic equipment increases the first measurement threshold so that the increased first measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target service cell.

Based on the design mode, under the condition that the electronic equipment is in a connection state and the signal instruction of the currently resident target service cell is good, the electronic equipment can smoothly perform neighbor cell measurement according to the existing neighbor cell measurement logic by improving the first measurement threshold.

Based on the design mode, under the condition that the electronic equipment is in an idle state and the signal instruction of the currently resident target service cell is good, the electronic equipment can smoothly perform neighbor cell measurement according to the existing neighbor cell measurement logic by improving the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold. Thus, under the condition of better signal quality, the electronic equipment can acquire enough neighbor information. Furthermore, the electronic equipment can complete positioning based on sufficient neighbor information, so that the positioning requirement of the electronic equipment is met, the function of the electronic equipment with the positioning requirement can better provide services for users, and the use experience of the users is improved.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the method further includes: under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target service cell is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold, the electronic equipment increases the first target measurement threshold so that the increased first target measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target service cell; the first target measurement threshold is any one of a second measurement threshold or a third measurement threshold; the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on a frequency point corresponding to a first target measurement threshold to obtain a first neighbor cell measurement result; if the first target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold comprises a target frequency point; if the first target measurement threshold is a third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold comprises a first frequency point and a second frequency point; if the number of the neighbor cell information in the first neighbor cell measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset number, the electronic equipment determines the first neighbor cell measurement result as a neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can perform neighbor cell measurement only on a part of frequency division points under the condition that the signal instruction of the currently resident target service cell is good, and can obtain enough neighbor cell information only by performing neighbor cell measurement on the part of frequency division points, so that the time and the power consumption of the whole neighbor cell measurement are reduced while the subsequent positioning accuracy is ensured, and the problem that the mobile terminal cannot be normally used due to overlong neighbor cell measurement users is avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold, the method further includes: if the number of neighbor cell information obtained by neighbor cell measurement in the first neighbor cell measurement result is smaller than the first preset number, the electronic equipment increases the second target measurement threshold so that the increased second target measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target service cell; the second target measurement threshold is the other one of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold except the first target measurement threshold; the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on a frequency point corresponding to a second target measurement threshold to obtain a second neighbor cell measurement result, and adds the second neighbor cell measurement result to the first neighbor cell measurement result to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result; if the second target measurement threshold is a third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold comprises a first frequency point and a second frequency point; if the second target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold comprises a target frequency point.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can perform neighbor cell measurement on all frequency points under the condition that the signal instruction of the currently resident target service cell is good and sufficient neighbor cell information cannot be obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on only one part of frequency points, so that the sufficient neighbor cell information is ensured to be obtained, the mobile terminal can be positioned completely, accurately and completely, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In one possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first target measurement threshold is a second measurement threshold.

Because the measurement of the same-frequency neighbor cell only needs to measure and evaluate the signal on the current channel, and the measurement of the different-frequency neighbor cell needs to be switched and measured on the channels with different frequencies, the measurement speed of the same-frequency neighbor cell is generally faster than that of the different-frequency neighbor cell when the neighbor cell is measured. Therefore, based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can preferentially measure the same-frequency neighbor cells corresponding to the target frequency point, and further can obtain neighbor cell information of a first preset quantity faster.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device receives the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, the method further includes: under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target service cell is between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on a frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold, and a third neighbor cell measurement result is obtained; the third target measurement threshold is one of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, which is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell; if the third target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold comprises a target frequency point; if the third target measurement threshold is a third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold comprises a first frequency point and a second frequency point; if the number of the neighbor cell information in the third neighbor cell measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset number, the electronic equipment determines the third neighbor cell measurement result as a neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can perform neighbor cell measurement on only one part of frequency division points under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the currently resident target service cell is located between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold and can obtain enough neighbor cell information only by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency points corresponding to the third target measurement threshold which can be measured according to the existing logic, the time and the power consumption of the whole neighbor cell measurement are reduced while the subsequent positioning precision is ensured, and the problem that the mobile terminal cannot be normally used due to overlong neighbor cell measurement users is avoided.

Furthermore, based on the technical scheme, the electronic equipment can acquire enough neighbor cell information by adopting a proper forced measurement means under the conditions of an idle state and a better signal instruction of a cell where the electronic equipment currently resides, thereby meeting the positioning requirement of the mobile terminal.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold, the method further includes: if the number of neighbor cell information in the third neighbor cell measurement result is smaller than the first preset number, the electronic equipment increases the fourth target measurement threshold so that the increased fourth target measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target service cell; the fourth target measurement threshold is the other one of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold except the third target measurement threshold; the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on a frequency point corresponding to a fourth target measurement threshold to obtain a fourth neighbor cell side face result, and adds the fourth neighbor cell measurement result into a third neighbor cell measurement result to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result; if the fourth target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold comprises a first frequency point and a second frequency point; if the fourth target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold comprises a target frequency point.

Based on the design manner, the electronic device can perform neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold which cannot perform neighbor cell measurement according to the existing logic under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the currently-resident target service cell is located between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold and the neighbor cell measurement is performed on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold only and cannot obtain enough neighbor cell information, so that the situation that the mobile terminal can perform complete, enough and accurate positioning subsequently is ensured, and the use experience of a user is improved.

Furthermore, based on the technical scheme, the electronic equipment can acquire enough neighbor cell information by adopting a proper measurement means under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the currently-resident target service cell is positioned between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in an idle state, so that the positioning requirement of the mobile terminal is met.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the electronic device performs neighbor measurement to obtain a neighbor measurement result, including: the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point within a first preset duration; and stopping the action of neighbor cell measurement when the first preset duration is over by the electronic equipment, and determining neighbor cell information of the neighbor cell obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point as a neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can limit the time required to be consumed by the neighbor cell measurement, and the problem that the service of the electronic equipment cannot be normally used because the neighbor cell measurement is too long is avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the electronic device receives neighbor measurement configuration information from a network side device, including: under the condition that the electronic equipment has positioning requirements, the electronic equipment receives neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment; after the electronic device performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point in the first preset time period, the method further comprises the following steps: before the first preset time length is over, if the adjacent cell information of the first preset number of adjacent cells is obtained, the electronic equipment stops the action of adjacent cell measurement, and determines the adjacent cell information of the first preset number of adjacent cells as an adjacent cell measurement result.

When the purpose of neighbor cell measurement is positioning, the requirement of positioning precision can be met by acquiring a certain amount of neighbor cell information, more neighbor cell information only causes the increase of mobile phone power consumption, and the improvement of positioning precision is smiling. Therefore, based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can timely stop neighbor cell measurement after acquiring the neighbor cell information with enough positioning, so that the consumed time of neighbor cell measurement is reduced, and the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced. The problem that the service of the electronic equipment cannot be normally used because the neighbor cell measurement is too long is further avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the target frequency point, the first frequency point, and the second frequency point belong to a first operator; the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point to obtain neighbor cell measurement results, and the method further comprises the following steps: when the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement results is smaller than the first preset number, the electronic equipment selects at least one third frequency point from a preset frequency point set, and performs neighbor cell measurement on the third frequency point to obtain a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result, and updates the neighbor cell measurement result; the preset frequency point set comprises a plurality of frequency points, wherein the frequency points comprise frequency points of different operators; the third frequency point does not belong to the first operator.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can measure the frequency points of other operators under the condition that the quantity of the neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result is insufficient for accurate positioning, so that enough neighbor cell information is obtained. And further, accurate positioning can be completed, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the number of third frequency points in the at least one third frequency point is smaller than the target number, and the target number is a sum of the number of target frequency points, the number of first frequency points and the number of second frequency points.

Based on the design mode, the problem that the electronic equipment cannot be produced correctly and is more practical because the electronic equipment obtains the measurement time length of the supplementary neighbor cell measurement result is too long can be avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the electronic device selects at least one third frequency point from a preset frequency point set, and performs neighbor measurement on the third frequency point to obtain a supplementary neighbor measurement result, including: the electronic equipment selects at least one third frequency point from a preset frequency point set, and performs neighbor cell measurement on the third frequency point within a third preset time period; and stopping the neighbor cell measurement action when the electronic equipment finishes the third preset duration, and determining neighbor cell information of the neighbor cell obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the third frequency point as a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the design mode, the time length required to be consumed by the neighbor cell measurement can be limited, and the problem that the service of the electronic equipment cannot be normally used because the neighbor cell measurement is too long is avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the electronic device selects at least one third frequency point from the preset frequency point set, and after performing neighbor measurement on the third frequency point within a third preset time period, the method further includes: before the third preset time period is over, if the electronic equipment measures the neighbor cell information of the second preset number of neighbor cells, stopping the neighbor cell measurement action of the third frequency point, and determining the neighbor cell information of the second preset number of neighbor cells as a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result; the second preset number is the difference between the first preset number minus the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the design mode, after the sufficiently positioned neighbor cell information is acquired, neighbor cell measurement can be stopped timely, the consumed time of neighbor cell measurement is reduced, and the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced. The problem that the service of the electronic equipment cannot be normally used because the neighbor cell measurement is too long is further avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, and the first frequency point and the second frequency point, to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result, the method further includes: the electronic equipment reduces the neighbor cell measurement threshold after the improvement in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment to the neighbor cell measurement threshold before the improvement.

Based on the design mode, after the electronic equipment completes one-time forced neighbor cell measurement, the neighbor cell measurement threshold can be restored to the original neighbor cell measurement threshold provided by the network side equipment as soon as possible, so that the subsequent electronic equipment can smoothly perform neighbor cell measurement according to the original logic.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, and the first frequency point and the second frequency point, to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result, the method further includes: and if the signal quality parameter of the service cell where the electronic equipment resides is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment within the second preset duration, the electronic equipment does not conduct neighbor cell measurement.

In practice, when the signal instruction of the serving cell where the electronic device resides is good, the action of forcing the neighbor cell measurement is not an action specified by the 3GPP protocol, and the energy consumption of the electronic device is large, so as to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device as much as possible and enable the electronic device to perform the neighbor cell measurement according to normal logic in most cases. After the electronic equipment forcibly performs neighbor cell measurement to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result, the electronic equipment needs to stop the related action of the forced measurement within a second preset time period, namely stopping the action of neglecting the measurement threshold or stopping the action of improving the neighbor cell measurement threshold. The technical scheme corresponding to the design mode is implemented, so that after the electronic equipment finishes one-time forced neighbor cell measurement, the neighbor cell measurement can be performed according to the normal measurement logic specified by the 3GPP, the mobile phone is prevented from forcedly performing the neighbor cell measurement for a plurality of times in a short time, the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In a possible design manner of the first aspect, in a case that the electronic device is in an idle state, the neighbor cell measurement configuration information further includes a target frequency point priority, a priority of each first frequency point, and a priority of each second frequency point; the electronic equipment performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point to obtain neighbor cell measurement results, and the method comprises the following steps: and the electronic equipment sequentially performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point according to the order of the priority from large to small so as to obtain neighbor cell measurement results.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can obtain the neighbor information of the neighbor cells of different types according to the priority measurement, and the priority can reflect the number of the neighbor cells of different frequency points or the number of loads, so based on the technical scheme corresponding to the design mode, enough neighbor information can be obtained more quickly, the loads of different frequency points can be more balanced, the stability of the whole communication network is improved, and further the use experience of users can be better ensured.

In one possible design of the first aspect, the broadcast message includes at least one system information block SIB, where the at least one SIB carries neighbor cell measurement configuration information.

Based on the design mode, the electronic equipment can smoothly acquire the needed neighbor cell measurement information, and further can smoothly perform subsequent neighbor cell measurement.

In one possible design of the first aspect, in a case where the target serving cell is a long term evolution LTE cell, the at least one SIB includes: SIB3, SIB5 and SIB24; the SIB3 comprises a second measurement threshold and a third measurement threshold, the SIB5 comprises the priority of a target frequency point, at least one first frequency point and the priority of the first frequency point, and the SIB24 comprises at least one second frequency point and the priority of the second frequency point; in case the target serving cell is a new air interface NR cell, the at least one SIB comprises: SIB2, SIB4 and SIB5; the SIB2 comprises a second measurement threshold and a third measurement threshold, the SIB4 comprises the priority of a target frequency point, at least one first frequency point and the priority of the first frequency point, and the SIB5 comprises at least one second frequency point and the priority of the second frequency point.

The RRC reconfiguration message may include a first measurement threshold corresponding to a neighboring cell (including a same-frequency neighboring cell, a different-frequency neighboring cell, and a different-system neighboring cell), at least one first frequency point corresponding to the different-frequency neighboring cell, and at least one second frequency point corresponding to the different-system neighboring cell.

It should be noted that, the inter-frequency neighbor cell in the at least one first frequency point corresponding to the inter-frequency neighbor cell does not refer to a cell, but refers to a class of cells, that is, the at least one first frequency point corresponding to the inter-frequency neighbor cell may specifically be at least one first frequency point that includes a specific value different from a frequency point of a serving cell in which the user terminal currently resides, and at the same time, a communication system to which the first frequency point belongs is the same as a communication system to which the frequency point of the serving cell in which the user terminal currently resides. The cells corresponding to the first frequency points are different-frequency neighbor cells of the service cell where the user terminal currently resides.

The inter-system neighbor cell in the at least one second frequency point corresponding to the inter-system neighbor cell does not refer to a cell, but refers to a type of cell, that is to say, the at least one second frequency point corresponding to the inter-system neighbor cell may specifically be at least one second frequency point different from a communication system including the communication system to which the frequency point of the serving cell where the user terminal currently resides belongs. The cells corresponding to the second frequency points are the heterogeneous system neighbor cells of the service cell where the user terminal currently resides.

Illustratively, according to protocols 36331 and 38331 of the third generation partnership project (third generation partnership project,3 GPP), the relevant code of the first measurement threshold in the rrc reconfiguration message may be as follows:

s-MeasureConfig CHOICE{

ssb-RSRP RSRP-Range，

csi-RSRP RSRP-Range

}

Wherein, the RSRP-Range corresponding to the ssb-RSRP is a specific value when the reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) obtained by the channel state information (channel state information, CSI) is taken as the signal quality parameter, and the first measurement threshold is defined; the RSRP-Range corresponding to the csi-RSRP is a specific value when the reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) obtained by the synchronous signal block (synchronization signal block, SSB) is used as a signal quality parameter and the first measurement threshold is used. In general, when performing neighbor cell measurement, since ssb-RSRP may provide related information of cell search and synchronization related to neighbor cell measurement, RSRP-Range corresponding to ssb-RSRP may be used as the first measurement threshold.

The first measurement threshold, the at least one first frequency point, and the at least one second frequency point are neighbor measurement configuration information, which may be specifically referred to as neighbor measurement configuration information corresponding to a connection state.

System information block (system information block, SIB): is one type of message used in wireless communication systems to convey system information. Normally, after the user terminal logs on the internet through the base station, if the user terminal is in an idle state where no data transmission or voice call is performed, the base station periodically transmits a broadcast message to the user terminal through a broadcast channel (broadcast channel, BCCH). One or more SIBs may be included in the broadcast message. The SIB can include neighbor measurement configuration information needed by the user terminal for neighbor measurement.

For example, taking the cell in which the user terminal currently resides as an LTE cell, SIB3, SIB5, and SIB24 may be included in the broadcast message. The SIB3 may include a second measurement threshold of the co-frequency neighboring cell, and a third measurement threshold of the inter-frequency neighboring cell and the inter-system neighboring cell. Illustratively, according to protocols 36331 and 38331 of the third generation partnership project (third generation partnership project,3 GPP), the configuration information related code in sib3 including the second measurement threshold may be as follows:

cellReselectionServingFreqInfo SEQUENCE{

s-IntraSearchP ReselectionThreshold，

s-IntraSearchQ ReselectionThresholdQ OPTIONAL， --Need S

wherein, the Reselection threshold is a specific value when the reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) is used as the signal quality parameter and the second measurement threshold is used; reselection threshold is a specific value when the reference signal received quality (Reference signal receiving quality, RSRQ) is used as the signal quality parameter, and the second measurement threshold is used.

The configuration information related code including the third measurement threshold in SIB3 may be as follows:

cellReselectionServingFreqInfo SEQUENCE{

s-NonIntraSearchP ReselectionThreshold， OPTIONAL， --Need S

s-NonIntraSearchQ ReselectionThresholdQ OPTIONAL， --Need S

similarly, where the ReselectionThreshold is a specific value when the reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) is used as the signal quality parameter, and the third measurement threshold is used; reselection threshold is a specific value when the reference signal received quality (Reference signal receiving quality, RSRQ) is used as the signal quality parameter, and the third measurement threshold is used.

In general, when performing neighbor cell measurement, RSRP is generally used as a signal quality parameter to measure the signal quality of a neighbor cell. This is because RSRP is an index that directly measures the received signal strength, can provide absolute values for signal strength, and has comparability between different cells. In contrast, RSRQ is an indicator of received signal quality that takes into account signal strength and interference level. RSRQ is calculated by comparing RSRP with the interference level, so it is more focused on evaluating the quality of the signal than just the strength. In general, RSRP is chosen as the signal quality parameter for neighbor cell measurements because it provides a direct signal strength measurement and has comparability between different cells, which facilitates cell handover and resource allocation operations by the network.

SIB5 may include at least one first frequency point of the corresponding inter-frequency neighbor cell to be measured, and SIB24 may include at least one second frequency point of the corresponding inter-system neighbor cell. The foreign system may be a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th generation mobile communication technology,5G) system. In some embodiments, the SIB5 may further include a priority of the target frequency point and a frequency point priority of each of the at least one first frequency point corresponding to the inter-frequency neighbor cell, and the SIB24 may further include a frequency point priority of each of the at least one second frequency point corresponding to the inter-system neighbor cell.

For another example, taking the cell in which the user terminal currently resides as an NR cell, SIB2, SIB4, and SIB5 may be included in the broadcast message. The SIB2 may include a second measurement threshold of the co-frequency neighboring cell, and a third measurement threshold of the inter-frequency neighboring cell and the inter-system neighboring cell. The correlation codes of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in SIB2 may refer to the correlation codes of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in SIB3, which are not described herein. SIB4 may include at least one first frequency point of the corresponding inter-frequency neighbor cell to be measured, and SIB5 may include at least one second frequency point of the corresponding inter-system neighbor cell to be measured. In some embodiments, SIB4 may then include at least one second frequency point of the corresponding inter-system neighbor cell to be measured, and SIB5 may then include at least one first frequency point of the corresponding inter-frequency neighbor cell to be measured. In some embodiments, the SIB4 may further include a frequency point priority of each of the at least one first frequency point corresponding to the inter-frequency neighbor cell, and the SIB5 may further include a frequency point priority of each of the at least one second frequency point corresponding to the inter-system neighbor cell. In some embodiments, the SIB4 may further include a priority of the target frequency point and a frequency point priority of each of the second frequency points corresponding to at least one of the heterogeneous system neighboring cells, and the SIB5 may further include a frequency point priority of each of the at least one first frequency point corresponding to the heterogeneous system neighboring cells.

The second measurement threshold, the third measurement threshold, at least one first frequency point, at least one second frequency point, and the priority of each frequency point are neighbor measurement configuration information, which may be specifically referred to as neighbor measurement configuration information corresponding to an idle state.

Of course, the above description of SIB is only an example, and SIB2, SIB3, SIB4, SIB5, SIB24 and even other SIBs may include any other possible system information in practice; further, in some embodiments, any one of SIB2, SIB3, SIB4, SIB5, and SIB24, or even any other SIB, may include the above-mentioned second measurement threshold, third measurement threshold, at least one first frequency point, at least one second frequency point, and neighbor measurement configuration information of a priority of each frequency point.

In the current communication technology, the ue needs to be located in many possible situations (for example, an application needs to be located). For better positioning, the terminal needs to measure the neighboring cells (such as the same-frequency neighboring cell, the different-frequency neighboring cell and the different-system neighboring cell) of the server cell to obtain the cell information (such as the neighboring cell ID and the signal quality parameter) of the neighboring cells, thereby assisting in positioning. In order to prevent the user terminal from frequently performing neighbor cell measurement and reduce power consumption, the network side device configures neighbor cell measurement thresholds (including measurement thresholds of the same-frequency neighbor cell, the different-frequency neighbor cell and the different-system neighbor cell) for the user terminal in an idle state and a connected state. Only when the value of the signal quality (specifically, the signal quality of the downlink signal) of the serving cell where the ue resides is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold, the corresponding neighbor cell is measured. When the value of the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the user terminal resides is greater than the neighbor cell measurement threshold, the corresponding neighbor cell is not measured.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a communication system to which a ue belongs when performing neighbor cell measurement. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system may include a plurality of network-side devices 01 and a plurality of user terminals 02. In fig. 1, a plurality of network side devices 01 including a network side device 01-1, a network side device 01-2, a network side device 01-3 and a network side device 01-4 are taken as an example, and a plurality of user terminals 02 including a user terminal 02-1, a user terminal 02-2, a user terminal 02-3 and a user terminal 02-4 are taken as an example for illustration.

At least one user terminal 02 may be distributed in a serving cell managed by each network-side device 01. After the user terminal 01 is started up in a service cell managed by a certain network side device 01, the user terminal 01 can register to access the internet through the network side device 01. There may be intersections of the ranges of the serving cells managed by the different network-side devices 01. For example, there is an intersection between the serving cell a managed by the network-side device 01-1, the serving cell B managed by the network-side device 01-2, the serving cell C managed by the network-side device 01-3, and the serving cell D managed by the network-side device 01-4 shown in fig. 1. The range of the serving cells managed by the different network-side devices 01 may not have an intersection.

Based on the communication system shown in fig. 1, referring to fig. 2, the procedure of the existing neighbor cell measurement may include:

after the user terminal is started, the user terminal can register to access the internet through the network side equipment, so that communication connection is established. The network side device may be a base station.

Then, when the user terminal is in a connected state and there is a need for performing neighbor cell measurement to complete positioning, the network side device can send a reconfiguration message to the user terminal. The reconfiguration message may carry neighbor measurement configuration information corresponding to the connection state. The neighbor cell measurement configuration information of the corresponding connection state may include: the method comprises the steps of a first measurement threshold of a same-frequency adjacent cell, a different-frequency adjacent cell and a different-system adjacent cell, at least one first frequency point corresponding to the different-frequency adjacent cell and at least one second frequency point corresponding to the different-system adjacent cell.

And under the condition that the user terminal is in an idle state, only a small amount of communication connection is kept between the network side equipment and the user terminal so as to support the mobility management and network access of the network side equipment to the user terminal. For example, the communication connection between the network side device and the user terminal may comprise a broadcast channel when the user terminal is in an idle state.

In the case that the ue is in an idle state, the network side device periodically transmits a broadcast message to the ue through a broadcast channel. The broadcast message may include neighbor measurement configuration information corresponding to the idle state. The neighbor cell measurement configuration information may include a second measurement threshold of the same-frequency neighbor cell, a third measurement threshold of the different-frequency neighbor cell and the different-system neighbor cell, at least one first frequency point corresponding to the different-frequency neighbor cell, and at least one second frequency point corresponding to the different-system neighbor cell. The neighbor cell measurement configuration information may further include a priority of each of the at least one first frequency point and the at least one second frequency point.

The specific use of the system information block to carry the neighbor measurement configuration information in the broadcast message may refer to the description of the system information block in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

And then, the user terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement according to neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, and locate the currently resident service cell based on the measurement result. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the user terminal 02-1 may then perform positioning based on the measured three neighbor cell information of the serving cell a, the serving cell B, the serving cell C, and the serving cell D.

When the user terminal is in an idle state, the user terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement according to the neighbor cell measurement configuration information of the corresponding idle state from the network side equipment. Specifically, in the case that the ue is in the idle state, for the purpose of energy saving, the ue first determines whether the signal quality parameter of the serving cell currently camping is greater than the second measurement threshold and whether the signal quality parameter of the serving cell is greater than the third measurement threshold. And under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the currently-resident service cell is smaller than the second measurement threshold, the user terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point of the currently-resident service cell. And under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the currently resident service cell is smaller than a third measurement threshold, the user terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement on the first frequency point and the second frequency point in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information. If the signal quality parameter of the currently camping serving cell is greater than the second measurement threshold and/or the third measurement threshold, the ue may perform neighbor measurement only on the frequency point to which the currently camping serving cell belongs, or perform neighbor measurement only on the first frequency point and the second frequency point, or do not perform neighbor measurement.

When the user terminal is in a connection state, the user terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement according to the neighbor cell measurement configuration information of the corresponding connection state from the network side equipment. Specifically, in the case that the ue is in a connected state, for the purpose of energy saving, the ue first determines whether the signal quality parameter of the serving cell currently camping is greater than a first measurement threshold. And under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the currently resident service cell is smaller than a first measurement threshold, the user terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point of the currently resident service cell. And if the signal quality parameter of the currently resident serving cell is larger than the first measurement threshold, the user terminal does not conduct neighbor cell measurement.

It can be seen that in the existing neighbor cell measurement scheme, if the signal quality of the serving cell where the user currently resides is relatively good, the user terminal cannot perform neighbor cell measurement, or can only perform measurement on a small number of frequency points. Therefore, when the user terminal needs to perform positioning based on the neighbor cell information, enough neighbor cell information cannot be obtained, and further accurate positioning cannot be completed. The service based on accurate positioning on the user terminal can not be well provided for the user, so that the use experience of the user is reduced.

Aiming at the technical problems, the embodiment of the application provides a neighbor cell measurement method which is applied to electronic equipment (or called user terminal). In this technical solution, referring to fig. 3, after the electronic device starts registration to log on, in an idle state, the electronic device may receive neighbor measurement configuration information of a corresponding idle state from the network side device, or in a connected state, receive neighbor measurement configuration information of a corresponding connected state from the network side device. And then, if the signal quality parameter of the service cell where the electronic equipment resides is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold (the first measurement threshold or the second measurement threshold or the third measurement threshold) in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information, the electronic equipment can forcedly perform neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point of the currently residing service cell and all the frequency points (the first frequency point and the second frequency point) in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information, so that neighbor cell measurement results are obtained, and neighbor cell information of a plurality of neighbor cells is obtained. The forced manner may be to raise the neighbor cell measurement threshold so that the neighbor cell measurement threshold is greater than the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the electronic device resides, or ignore the neighbor cell measurement threshold.

If the signal quality parameter of the service cell where the electronic device resides is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold (the first measurement threshold, the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold) in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information, the electronic device can perform neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point of the currently residing service cell and all the frequency points (the first frequency point and the second frequency point) in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information according to the existing scheme, so as to obtain neighbor cell measurement results, namely neighbor cell information of a plurality of neighbor cells.

And then the electronic equipment can locate the self position based on the neighbor cell measurement result.

Therefore, in the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, when the signal quality of the serving cell where the electronic device resides is good, the electronic device can also perform complete neighbor cell measurement to obtain neighbor cell information enough to perform positioning. Furthermore, the electronic equipment can complete positioning based on sufficient neighbor information, so that the positioning requirement of the electronic equipment is met, the function of the electronic equipment with the positioning requirement can better provide services for users, and the use experience of the users is improved.

The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The controller may be a neural hub and command center of the electronic device. The controller can generate operation control signals according to the instruction operation codes and the time sequence signals to finish the control of instruction fetching and instruction execution.

A memory may also be provided in the processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or recycled. If the processor 110 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Repeated accesses are avoided and the latency of the processor 110 is reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interfaces may include an integrated circuit (inter-integrated circuit, I2C) interface, an integrated circuit built-in audio (inter-integrated circuit sound, I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (pulse code modulation, PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter, UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (mobile industry processor interface, MIPI), a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) interface, a subscriber identity module (subscriber identity module, SIM) interface, and/or a universal serial bus (universal serial bus, USB) interface, among others.

The charge management module 140 is configured to receive a charge input from a power supply device (e.g., a charger, notebook power, etc.). The charger can be a wireless charger or a wired charger. In some wired charging embodiments, the charge management module 140 may receive a charging input of a wired charger through the USB interface 130. In some wireless charging embodiments, the charge management module 140 may receive wireless charging input through a wireless charging coil of the electronic device.

The charging management module 140 may also supply power to the electronic device through the power management module 141 while charging the battery 142. The battery 142 may specifically be a plurality of batteries connected in series. The power management module 141 is used for connecting the battery 142, the charge management module 140 and the processor 110.

The power management module 141 is used for connecting the battery 142, and the charge management module 140 and the processor 110. The power management module 141 receives input from the battery 142 and/or the charge management module 140 and provides power to the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the display 193, the camera 195, the wireless communication module 160, and the like. The power management module 141 may also be configured to monitor parameters such as battery voltage, current, battery cycle number, battery state of health (leakage, impedance), etc. In other embodiments, the power management module 141 may also be provided in the processor 110.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect external non-volatile memory to enable expansion of the memory capabilities of the electronic device. The external nonvolatile memory communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function. For example, files such as music and video are stored in an external nonvolatile memory.

The internal memory 121 may include one or more random access memories (random access memory, RAM) and one or more non-volatile memories (NVM). The random access memory may be read directly from and written to by the processor 110, may be used to store executable programs (e.g., machine instructions) for an operating system or other on-the-fly programs, may also be used to store data for users and applications, and the like. The nonvolatile memory may store executable programs, store data of users and applications, and the like, and may be loaded into the random access memory in advance for the processor 110 to directly read and write.

Touch sensors, also known as "touch devices". The touch sensor may be disposed on the display screen 193, and the touch sensor and the display screen 193 form a touch screen, which is also called a "touch screen". The touch sensor is used to monitor touch operations acting on or near it. The touch sensor may communicate the monitored touch operation to the application processor to determine the touch event type. Visual output related to the touch operation may be provided through the display 193. In other embodiments, the touch sensor may also be disposed on a surface of the electronic device other than where the display 193 is located.

The ambient light sensor is used for sensing ambient light brightness. For example: the ambient light sensor may measure the light intensity of four channels of ambient light. The ambient light sensor outputs the measured light intensities of the four channels of ambient light to the processor 110. The processor 110 may process the light intensities of the four channels of ambient light output by the ambient light sensor to obtain the light intensity of the ambient light. In the bright screen state, the electronic equipment can adaptively adjust the brightness of the display screen according to the obtained light intensity of the ambient light.

The pressure sensor is used for sensing a pressure signal and can convert the pressure signal into an electric signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor may be provided on the display 193. Pressure sensors are of many kinds, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, etc. When a touch operation is applied to the display screen 193, the electronic apparatus monitors the intensity of the touch operation according to the pressure sensor. The electronic device may also calculate the location of the touch based on the monitoring signal of the pressure sensor. In some embodiments, touch operations that act on the same touch location, but at different touch operation strengths, may correspond to different operation instructions. For example: and executing an instruction for checking the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity smaller than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon. And executing an instruction for newly creating the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity being greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may include 1 or N cameras 195, N being a positive integer greater than 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the type of the camera 195 may be differentiated according to hardware configuration and physical location. For example, a camera provided on the side of the display screen 193 of the electronic device may be referred to as a front camera, and a camera provided on the side of the rear cover of the electronic device may be referred to as a rear camera; for another example, a camera with a short focal length and a large view angle may be referred to as a wide-angle camera, and a camera with a long focal length and a small view angle may be referred to as a normal camera. The focal length and the visual angle are relative concepts, and are not limited by specific parameters, so that the wide-angle camera and the common camera are also relative concepts, and can be distinguished according to physical parameters such as the focal length, the visual angle and the like.

The electronic device implements display functions through a GPU, a display screen 193, an application processor, and the like. The GPU is a microprocessor for image editing, and is connected to the display 193 and the application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or change display information.

The electronic device may implement photographing functions through an ISP, a camera 195, a video codec, a GPU, a display screen 193, an application processor, and the like. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or change display information. In the embodiment of the present application, the GPU function is used in the frame drawing process of each image frame, so that the finally displayed picture obtains better display effect and performance.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 195. For example, when photographing, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electric signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electric signal to the ISP for processing and is converted into an image visible to naked eyes. ISP can also perform algorithm optimization on noise and brightness of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be located in the camera 195. The camera 195 is used to capture still images or video.

The digital signal processor is used for processing digital signals, and can process other digital signals besides digital image signals. For example, when the electronic device selects a frequency bin, the digital signal processor is used to fourier transform the frequency bin energy, and so on.

The display 193 is used to display images, videos, and the like. The display 193 includes a display panel. The display panel may employ a liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display, LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (flex), a mini, a Micro-OLED, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (quantum dot light emitting diodes, QLED), or the like. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include 1 or N display screens 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

In this embodiment, the display 193 may be used to display pages required by the electronic device (e.g., wizard pages (including bright point recommendation pages and external module access pages), etc.) and to display images captured from any one or more cameras 195 in the interface.

The wireless communication function of the electronic device may be implemented by the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, a modem, a baseband processor, and the like.

The antennas 1 and 2 are used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the electronic device may be used to cover a single or multiple communication bands. Different antennas may also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas.

The mobile communication module 150 may provide a solution for wireless communication including 2G/3G/4G/5G, etc. applied on an electronic device. The mobile communication module 150 may receive electromagnetic waves from the antenna 1, perform processes such as filtering, amplifying, and the like on the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit the processed electromagnetic waves to the modem processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 150 can amplify the signal modulated by the modem processor, and convert the signal into electromagnetic waves through the antenna 1 to radiate. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 may be disposed in the processor 110. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 may be provided in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 110.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used for modulating the low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. The low frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor and then transferred to the application processor. The application processor outputs sound signals through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.), or displays images or videos through the display screen 193. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be a stand-alone device. In other embodiments, the modem processor may be provided in the same device as the mobile communication module 150 or other functional module, independent of the processor 110.

The wireless communication module 160 may provide solutions for wireless communication including wireless local area network (wireless local area networks, WLAN) (e.g., wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) network), bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (global navigation satellite system, GNSS), frequency modulation (frequency modulation, FM), near field wireless communication technology (near field communication, NFC), infrared technology (IR), etc. for application on an electronic device. The wireless communication module 160 may be one or more devices that integrate at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 160 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2, modulates the electromagnetic wave signals, filters the electromagnetic wave signals, and transmits the processed signals to the processor 110. The wireless communication module 160 may also receive a signal to be transmitted from the processor 110, frequency modulate it, amplify it, and convert it to electromagnetic waves for radiation via the antenna 2.

The SIM card interface 194 is used to connect to a SIM card. The SIM card may be inserted into the SIM card interface 194, or removed from the SIM card interface 194 to effect contact and separation with the electronic device. The electronic device may support one or more SIM card interfaces. The SIM card interface 194 may support a Nano SIM card, micro SIM card, etc. The same SIM card interface 194 may be used to insert multiple cards simultaneously. The SIM card interface 194 may also be compatible with external memory cards. The electronic equipment interacts with the network through the SIM card, so that the functions of communication, data communication and the like are realized. One SIM card corresponds to one subscriber number.

It should be understood that the connection relationship between the modules in each session illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention is only illustrated schematically, and does not limit the structure of the electronic device. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also use different interfacing manners in the foregoing embodiments, or a combination of multiple interfacing manners.

It will be understood, of course, that the above illustration of fig. 4 is merely exemplary of the case where the electronic device is in the form of a cellular phone.

It will be appreciated that in general, implementation of electronic device functions requires software in addition to hardware support. The software system of the electronic device may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the application, the Android system with a layered architecture is taken as an example, and the software structure of the electronic equipment is illustrated.

In some examples, referring to fig. 5, in the embodiment of the present application, the software of the electronic device is divided into five layers, namely, an application layer, a framework layer (or referred to as an application framework layer), a system library and android run time (HAL layer (hardware abstraction layer), a hardware abstraction layer) and a kernel layer (or referred to as a driver layer) from top to bottom. The system library and android runtime may also be referred to as a local framework layer or a native layer.

The application layer may include a series of applications, among others. As shown in fig. 5, the application layer may include Applications (APP) such as camera, gallery, calendar, map, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short message, talk, navigation, instant messaging, etc.

The framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for application programs of the application layer.

In the embodiment of the application, a positioning service can be further included in the framework layer. The positioning service can determine the position of the electronic equipment based on the neighbor cell information of a plurality of neighbor cells when the radio resource control module of the system library acquires the neighbor cell information of the plurality of neighbor cells of the service cell where the electronic equipment currently resides. The determination method may be any feasible positioning method, which is not particularly limited in this application.

Thereby obtaining neighbor cell measurement results, which may specifically include neighbor cell information (e.g. cell ID and signal quality parameters of the neighbor cells) of the plurality of neighbor cells. And then the radio resource control module can provide the acquired neighbor cell measurement result for the positioning service in the frame layer for positioning.

Android runtime (android run) includes a core library and an ART virtual machine. android run is responsible for scheduling and management of android systems. The core library consists of two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application may be implemented in an electronic device having the above hardware structure or software structure.

Because the electronic equipment is registered to the network through the network side equipment and is resided in the service cell, the electronic equipment can have two states of an idle state and a connection state, and the electronic equipment can perform neighbor cell measurement no matter in the idle state or the connection state. The neighbor cell measurement method provided by the application can comprise a first neighbor cell measurement flow aiming at the electronic equipment in the connection state and a first neighbor cell measurement flow aiming at the electronic equipment in the idle state.

The following describes a first neighbor cell measurement procedure for a connected electronic device in the neighbor cell measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a first neighbor cell measurement flow of an electronic device in a connected state in a neighbor cell measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 6, with the electronic device as a mobile terminal (e.g. a mobile phone), the first neighbor cell measurement procedure for the electronic device in a connected state may include S601-S606:

s601, starting the mobile terminal, and registering to internet through network side equipment so as to reside in a target service cell.

The target serving cell is the serving cell in which the mobile terminal is currently residing in the foregoing embodiment. The network-side device may be a base station, such as an LTE base station or an NR base station. The network side device is used for managing the target service cell.

For example, the mobile terminal may register to access the internet, which may include: the method comprises the steps of starting up the terminal to perform initialization operation, establishing RRC connection with network side equipment by the mobile terminal to perform radio resource configuration, requesting attachment to the network side equipment by the mobile terminal to complete attachment to the network, establishing default bearing between the mobile terminal and the network side equipment, and completing tracking area updating (tracking area update, TAU) updating by the mobile terminal through the network side equipment. The specific implementation of the steps of registering for surfing the internet may be any feasible manner, and the application is not particularly limited.

S602, if the mobile terminal is in a connection state, if the mobile terminal has a positioning service requirement, the mobile terminal receives a reconfiguration message from the network side equipment.

The reconfiguration message may specifically be an RRC reconfiguration message, where the reconfiguration message may carry neighbor measurement configuration information corresponding to the connection state, that is, first neighbor measurement configuration information. The first neighbor measurement configuration information may include: the method comprises the steps of a first measurement threshold of a neighboring cell, at least one first frequency point corresponding to a different-frequency neighboring cell and at least one second frequency point corresponding to a different-system neighboring cell. The first frequency point is different from a target frequency point of a target service cell where the electronic equipment currently resides, and a communication system to which the first frequency point belongs is the same as a communication system to which the target frequency point belongs, namely a different frequency neighbor cell; the second frequency point is different from the target frequency point of the target service cell where the electronic equipment currently resides, and the communication system to which the first frequency point belongs is different from the communication system to which the target frequency point belongs, namely the heterogeneous system neighbor cell.

The neighbor cells may include a same-frequency neighbor cell, a different-frequency neighbor cell, and a different-system neighbor cell. And under the condition that the mobile terminal is in a connection state, according to the protocol specification of 3GPP, the neighbor cell measurement thresholds for measuring the same-frequency neighbor cell, the different-frequency neighbor cell and the different-system neighbor cell are all the first measurement threshold. Or, the measurement thresholds for performing neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point to which the target serving cell belongs are all the first measurement thresholds.

Generally, after the mobile terminal is started to finish registering and surfing, the mobile terminal is in a connected state. In addition, when the mobile terminal needs to perform data transmission with the network side device or perform communication with other mobile terminals through the network side device, the mobile terminal can reestablish or maintain the communication connection corresponding to the connection state.

For example, in a case where the mobile terminal is in a connected state, the communication connection existing between the mobile terminal and the network side device may include an RRC connection and a Radio Bearer (RB) connection. Wherein the network side device may send the reconfiguration message (or referred to as RRC reconfiguration message) to the mobile terminal through the RRC connection.

It should be noted that, before the cell in which the mobile terminal resides does not perform handover, the RRC reconfiguration message carrying the neighbor cell measurement configuration information may be sent only once. That is, in the process that the mobile terminal resides in a certain cell, the neighbor cell measurement configuration information used in the process of performing neighbor cell measurement is the same. Only after the cell in which the mobile terminal resides changes, the network side device sends an RRC reconfiguration message carrying new neighbor measurement configuration information to the mobile terminal.

In some embodiments, the positioning requirement may be generated by an application in the mobile terminal when providing a function to the user. For example, when a user uses a takeaway application installed on a mobile terminal, the takeaway application needs to acquire the location of the mobile terminal in order to display takeaway information to the user in the vicinity of the location where the user is located. At this time, the mobile terminal has a positioning requirement and is a positioning service request actively generated by the mobile terminal.

Under the condition that the mobile terminal actively generates the positioning requirement, the mobile terminal can actively request the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, and the network side equipment can send reconfiguration information carrying the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information to the mobile terminal after receiving the corresponding request. Based on this, referring to fig. 7 in conjunction with fig. 6, S602 may specifically include S6021A-S6024A:

S6021A, if the mobile terminal is in a connection state, if the mobile terminal has a positioning requirement, the mobile terminal sends a reconfiguration request to the network side equipment.

Wherein, the reconfiguration request may be an RRC reconfiguration request, which is used to request neighbor cell measurement configuration information. Of course, the specific request content of the RRC reconfiguration request in practice may also include any other feasible content, and the first neighbor measurement configuration information is only part or all of the content of the RRC reconfiguration request in one possible case in the embodiments of the present application, which is not specifically limited in this application.

S6022A, the network device receives a reconfiguration request from the mobile terminal.

And S6023A, the network side equipment responds to the reconfiguration request and sends a reconfiguration message to the mobile terminal.

The reconfiguration message carries neighbor cell measurement configuration information corresponding to the connection state, namely first neighbor cell measurement configuration information.

Of course, in practice, whether the network side device will respond to the reconfiguration request from the mobile terminal or not needs to be determined according to the information of the mobile terminal (for example, the identifier of the mobile terminal, etc.) or other possible contents carried in the reconfiguration request, which is not specifically limited in this application.

S6024A, the mobile terminal receives a reconfiguration message from the network side equipment.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to the S6021A-S6023A, the mobile terminal can acquire the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment under the condition of actively generating the positioning requirement, so that neighbor cell measurement is completed, and neighbor cell information is acquired to be used as a data support for positioning.

In other embodiments, since the mobile terminal may be continuously moving, the signal quality of the target serving cell where the mobile terminal is currently camping may also change with environmental reasons, so in order to ensure the communication stability of the mobile terminal, the network side device may need to periodically send a reconfiguration message to the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement and returns the measurement result to the network side device. And the network side equipment can determine whether to switch the service cell where the mobile terminal resides or not based on the neighbor cell measurement result. In this case, when the network side device needs to send the reconfiguration message to the mobile terminal, the network side device may consider that the mobile terminal has a positioning requirement. The reconfiguration message at this time may be actively sent by the network side device to the electronic device. Based on this, referring to fig. 8 in conjunction with fig. 6, S602 may specifically include S6021B and S6022B:

And S6021B, if the network side equipment determines that the mobile terminal has a positioning requirement under the condition that the mobile terminal is in a connected state, the network side equipment sends a reconfiguration message to the mobile terminal.

The reconfiguration message carries measurement configuration information of the first neighbor cell.

Based on the technical schemes corresponding to S6021B and S6022B, the network side device can send a reconfiguration message carrying the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information to the mobile terminal when determining that the mobile terminal has a positioning requirement, so that the mobile terminal can complete neighbor cell measurement based on the first neighbor cell measurement configuration message, and acquire neighbor cell information to be used as a data support for positioning.

S6022B, the mobile terminal receives the reconfiguration message from the network side device.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to S6021A-S6023A, the network side device may actively send the reconfiguration message to the mobile terminal when determining that the mobile terminal has any possibility of positioning requirement. Therefore, the mobile terminal can finish neighbor cell measurement based on the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information in the reconfiguration message, and acquire the neighbor cell information to be used as a data support for positioning.

After the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information is obtained when the mobile terminal is in a connected state, whether neighbor cell measurement can be performed can be judged, specifically, whether the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than a neighbor cell measurement threshold in the first neighbor cell measurement configuration can be judged. I.e. S602, S603 and S604 are performed.

S603, the mobile terminal acquires the signal quality parameters of the target serving cell.

The signal quality parameter may be an RSRP, and in particular may be an RSRP of a downlink signal of the mobile terminal.

Specifically, the manner in which the mobile terminal obtains the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell may be any feasible manner, for example, directly measuring the downlink signal from the base station in the target serving cell.

In addition, it should be noted that, because the location of the mobile terminal may change at any time, the signal quality of the target serving cell may also change at any time, so in order to ensure that the cell in which the mobile terminal resides can be switched in time under the condition that the communication signal of the mobile terminal is poor, in practice, the mobile terminal may acquire the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell in real time or periodically. That is, S603 may be performed after S602, may be performed before S602, or may be performed simultaneously with S602.

S604, the mobile terminal judges whether the signal quality parameter of the target service cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment.

The neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device is neighbor cell measurement configuration information carried by the reconfiguration message, where the neighbor cell measurement configuration information is specifically the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, and the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information may be specifically the first measurement threshold.

The signal quality parameter in the present application may be an RSRP, and the first measurement threshold is also a threshold corresponding to the RSRP. Of course, the actual signal quality parameter may also be other parameters that may represent the signal quality of the cell, such as RSRQ, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR), carrier received signal strength (received signal strength indication, RSSI), etc., and the first measurement threshold may also be adjusted accordingly, which is not specifically limited in this application according to the actual situation. The same applies to the subsequent examples.

Under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, according to the existing neighbor cell measurement logic, it can be determined that the mobile terminal needs to perform neighbor cell measurement, that is, S605 is executed.

Under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment, according to the existing neighbor cell measurement logic, it can be determined that the mobile terminal does not need to perform neighbor cell measurement at present. However, in order for the mobile terminal to acquire sufficient neighbor information, it is necessary to force the mobile terminal to perform neighbor measurement at this time, even though the mobile terminal forcibly performs S605.

In one possible implementation, the manner in which the mobile terminal is forced to perform the neighbor measurement may be to ignore the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device.

In another possible implementation manner, the manner of forcing the mobile terminal to perform neighbor cell measurement may further improve the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, so that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the improved measurement threshold. Therefore, the mobile terminal can conduct neighbor cell measurement according to the existing neighbor cell measurement logic.

Based on this, after S604 is performed, in the case where the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, referring to fig. 6, the mobile terminal may first perform S604A. After S604A, S605 is executed again.

S604A, the mobile terminal increases the neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment, so that the increased neighbor cell measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of a target service cell; alternatively, the neighbor measurement threshold is ignored.

The neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment is specifically a first measurement threshold in the first neighbor cell measurement configuration information. After the first measurement threshold is raised to be greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the mobile terminal may re-perform S604. Since the first measurement threshold is already greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell at this time, the judgment result of S604 is that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, and then S605 is executed. Of course, after the first measurement threshold is increased to be greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, since it is determined that the first measurement threshold is already greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the mobile terminal may directly perform the neighbor cell measurement, that is, directly perform S605. Therefore, the purpose of forcing the mobile terminal to perform neighbor cell measurement under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is larger than the original neighbor cell measurement threshold is achieved.

It should be noted that, in the first neighbor cell measurement procedure in practice, a step similar to step S604 may not exist, after step S603, the mobile terminal may execute step S605 when the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device; in case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, S604A is enforced. Similar matters in the subsequent embodiments are the same, and will not be described in detail later.

In addition, the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is equal to the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, which may be the case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, or the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, which is not particularly limited in the present application. Fig. 6 illustrates, as an example, only a case where the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is equal to the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, and a case where the signal quality parameter attributed to the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device. Similar matters in the subsequent embodiments are the same, and will not be described in detail later.

S605, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on a target frequency point to which a target service cell belongs and a first frequency point and a second frequency point in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment to obtain neighbor cell measurement results.

The neighbor cell measurement result may include neighbor cell information of a plurality of neighbor cells. The plurality of neighboring cells may include a same-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the target frequency point, a different-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the first frequency point, and a different-system neighboring cell corresponding to the second frequency point. By way of example, the neighbor cell information may include any possible content such as cell ID and signal quality parameters. Where a Cell ID (Cell ID) is a unique identifier that identifies a Cell, which refers to a geographical area in a communication network. The cell ID may be used to determine the cell to which the mobile device is currently connected and to identify when switching to other cells. The cell ID may have a matching relationship with information of a location, a frequency, a channel, etc. of the cell. That is, information such as the location (e.g., latitude and longitude of the center position), frequency, and channel of the cell can be successfully determined based on the cell ID. In the embodiment of the present application, the signal quality parameter may be RSRP of the downlink signal.

The specific implementation manner of the mobile terminal for performing neighbor cell measurement on each frequency point can be any feasible implementation manner, and the application is not particularly limited. For one frequency point, it may actually correspond to a plurality of cells. In the case that the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement aiming at the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point, neighbor cell information of any one neighbor cell may not be measured by a certain frequency point, and neighbor cell information of a plurality of neighbor cells may be measured by other certain frequency points. For example, referring to fig. 9, when the electronic device B in the target serving cell a performs measurement for a certain first frequency point k, it may simultaneously measure neighbor information of the inter-frequency neighbor C, the inter-frequency neighbor D, and the inter-frequency neighbor E. The frequency points of the inter-frequency neighbor cell C, the inter-frequency neighbor cell D and the inter-frequency neighbor cell E are the first frequency point k. The cell ID and the signal quality parameters of the inter-frequency neighbor cell C, the inter-frequency neighbor cell D and the inter-frequency neighbor cell E are different.

In practice, since the number of the neighboring cells of different target serving cells is not determined, when the mobile terminal forcibly performs the neighboring cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point, many neighboring cells may be measured, and if the neighboring cell information of each neighboring cell of each frequency point is measured, larger power consumption is generated and the time is longer. For example, if there are 2 co-frequency neighboring cells corresponding to the target frequency point, 5 inter-frequency neighboring cells corresponding to all the first frequency points, and 5 inter-system neighboring cells corresponding to all the second frequency points, 1s is required for each neighboring cell information obtained by measurement, and if the neighboring cell information of all the neighboring cells is required to be obtained by measurement, a total measurement duration of 12s is required.

The signal quality of the target serving cell may vary during this measurement period, and the signal quality in the 12 neighbors may also vary. If there is a moment in the measurement duration, the service quality of the target service cell is degraded, and the cell where the electronic equipment resides needs to be switched to a neighboring cell with good signal quality, then the signal quality of the neighboring cell around the target service cell at the moment cannot be obtained in time because measurement of all the neighboring cells is not completed at the moment. The electronic device cannot complete the switching in time, which may have adverse effects such as interruption on the ongoing service of the electronic device, and seriously reduce the use experience of the user.

In order to avoid this drawback, it is necessary to limit the time of the entire neighbor cell measurement so that the time of one neighbor cell measurement is not excessively long, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the above-mentioned problem. Based on this, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 10 in conjunction with fig. 6, S605 may specifically include S6051 and S6052:

s6051, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on a target frequency point to which a target service cell belongs and a first frequency point and a second frequency point in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment within a first preset time period.

For example, in one possible implementation manner, S6051 may specifically be that the mobile terminal may start a first timer, where a timing duration of the first timer is a first preset duration. In the process of timing by the first timer, the mobile terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement on a target frequency point to which the target serving cell belongs and a first frequency point and a second frequency point in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment.

The first preset duration may be, for example, 5s. The first preset duration may be empirically obtained by a mobile terminal manufacturer, and the value of the first preset duration is not specifically limited in the present application.

And S6052, stopping the action of neighbor cell measurement when the first preset time period is over, and determining neighbor cell information of the neighbor cell obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point currently as a neighbor cell measurement result.

For example, in one possible implementation manner, S6052 may specifically be that the mobile terminal stops the action of neighbor cell measurement when the first timer expires, and determines neighbor cell information of a neighbor cell obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point currently as a neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the technical schemes corresponding to the S6051 and the S6052, the mobile terminal can limit the time required to be consumed by the neighbor cell measurement, and the problem that the service of the mobile terminal cannot be normally used because the neighbor cell measurement is too long is avoided.

Because the purpose of neighbor cell measurement in this application is mainly used for positioning, and to use neighbor cell information to carry out the location, the quantity of neighbor cell information is from 0 to certain in-process of first default quantity, and the precision of location can be faster grow, and in the quantity of neighbor cell information from the in-process of first default quantity continue to increase, the change of positioning accuracy can then be very little. Therefore, generally, the number of neighbor cell information needed for positioning is only a first preset number (or slightly more) of neighbor cell information according to the accuracy requirement. More neighbor cell information is acquired, the change of positioning accuracy is not great, and the length of neighbor cell measurement time is prolonged conversely. Based on this, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 11 in conjunction with fig. 10, S6051 further includes S6053:

and S6053, before the first preset time period is over, if the mobile terminal measures the neighbor cell information of the first preset number of neighbor cells, stopping the neighbor cell measurement action, and determining the neighbor cell information of the first preset number of neighbor cells as a neighbor cell measurement result.

The first preset number may be, for example, 5. Therefore, the mobile terminal can timely stop neighbor cell measurement after acquiring enough positioned neighbor cell information, so that the consumed time of neighbor cell measurement is reduced, and the power consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced. The problem that the service of the mobile terminal cannot be normally used because the measurement time of the neighbor cell is too long is further avoided.

In some embodiments, the measurement speed of the same-frequency neighbor cell is generally faster than that of the different-frequency neighbor cell when the neighbor cell is measured because the same-frequency neighbor cell only needs to measure and evaluate the signal on the current channel, and the different-frequency neighbor cell only needs to switch and measure on the channel with different frequency. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to make the speed of obtaining the first preset number of neighbor cell information faster, in order to make the neighbor cell measurement performed for positioning shorter, when the mobile terminal performs the neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point, the mobile terminal performs the neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point first, and then performs the neighbor cell measurement on the first frequency point and the second frequency point. In this way, the mobile terminal can obtain the first preset number of neighbor cell information faster, so that the whole neighbor cell measurement process is ended faster, the consumed time of neighbor cell measurement is reduced, and the power consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced. The problem that the service of the mobile terminal cannot be normally used because the measurement time of the neighbor cell is too long is further avoided.

And S606, the mobile terminal performs positioning based on the neighbor cell measurement result.

The positioning method of the mobile terminal based on the neighbor cell measurement result may be any feasible manner, and may specifically be determined according to neighbor cell information of the neighbor cell in the neighbor cell measurement result, which is not specifically limited in this application. For example, the positioning method may be a time of arrival (TOA) positioning method, an angle of arrival (AOA) positioning method, a positioning method based on signal strength (or may be referred to as a signal quality parameter), or the like. The positioning method based on the signal strength can be a trilateral positioning method, a variable positioning method, a fingerprint positioning method and the like.

For example, taking the example that the neighbor cell information includes a cell ID and a signal quality parameter, the process of the fingerprint positioning method in the positioning method based on signal strength may specifically include the following steps:

and (3) data acquisition: within each area where positioning is required, key points (such as intersections, landmark buildings, etc.) are selected as reference points, and signal quality parameters from surrounding individual serving cells are measured at these reference points. These measurement data constitute a fingerprint database. The data acquisition stage may be performed before the first neighbor measurement procedure provided in the embodiments of the present application.

Positioning: when the mobile terminal needs to be positioned, the mobile terminal can obtain the position of the neighbor cell based on the cell IDs in the neighbor cell information of a plurality of neighbor cells obtained by neighbor cell measurement, and the position of the neighbor cell and the signal quality parameters in the neighbor cell information are utilized to compare with the data in the fingerprint database.

Position estimation: and taking the position of the key point corresponding to the most matched fingerprint data as the estimated position of the user terminal in the comparison result, wherein the key point corresponds to the position of the adjacent cell and the signal quality parameter in the adjacent cell information.

Wherein the positioning phase and the position estimation may be considered as one specific implementation of S606. The positioning method adopted in S606 is not particularly limited in this application.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to S601-S606, for the mobile terminal in the connected state, when the signal quality of the serving cell where the mobile terminal resides is better, the mobile terminal can forcedly perform complete neighbor cell measurement to obtain neighbor cell information enough to perform positioning. Furthermore, the mobile terminal can complete positioning based on sufficient neighbor cell information, so that the positioning requirement of the mobile terminal is met, the function of the mobile terminal with the positioning requirement can better provide services for users, and the use experience of the users is improved.

The following describes a second neighbor cell measurement procedure for an electronic device in an idle state in the neighbor cell measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a second neighbor cell measurement flow of an electronic device in an idle state in a neighbor cell measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 12, with the electronic device as a mobile terminal, the second neighbor cell measurement procedure for the electronic device in the idle state may include S1201-S1206:

and S1201, starting the mobile terminal, and registering to surfing the internet through network side equipment so as to reside in the target service cell.

The specific implementation of S1201 may refer to the related expression of S601 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

S1202, if the mobile terminal has a positioning requirement under the condition that the mobile terminal is in an idle state, the mobile terminal receives a broadcast message from network side equipment.

The broadcast message carries neighbor measurement configuration information corresponding to the idle state, namely second neighbor measurement configuration information. The second neighbor measurement configuration information may include: the method comprises the steps of a second measurement threshold of a same-frequency adjacent cell, a third measurement threshold of a different-frequency adjacent cell and a different-system adjacent cell, at least one first frequency point corresponding to the different-frequency adjacent cell and at least one second frequency point corresponding to the different-system adjacent cell. And under the condition that the mobile terminal is in an idle state, according to the protocol specification of 3GPP, the neighbor cell measurement threshold for measuring the same-frequency neighbor cell is a second measurement threshold, and the neighbor cell measurement threshold for measuring the different-frequency neighbor cell and the different-system neighbor cell is the third measurement threshold. Or the measurement threshold for performing neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point to which the target serving cell belongs is referred to as a second measurement threshold, and the measurement thresholds for performing neighbor cell measurement on the first frequency point and the second frequency point are both third measurement thresholds.

The second neighbor measurement configuration information carried by the broadcast message may specifically be in a plurality of SIBs in the broadcast message, and specifically, the content of which SIBs exist in the second neighbor measurement configuration information may refer to the description related to the SIBs in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

Generally, after the mobile terminal is started to finish registering and surfing, the mobile terminal is in a connected state. In some specific cases, the mobile terminal may transition from the connected state to the idle state. By way of example, specific situations may include: after the mobile terminal completes one communication (call or data transmission), no new communication requirement exists, the mobile terminal switches the cell where the mobile terminal resides, the network side equipment indicates the mobile terminal to enter an idle state when network optimization or resource allocation is required, and abnormal (such as signal loss, signal interference and the like) occurs in connection (RRC connection, air interface connection and the like) between the mobile terminal and the network side equipment.

After the mobile terminal transitions from the connected state to the idle state, the communication connection between the mobile terminal and the network may include a broadcast channel, a Paging Channel (PCH) and a random access channel (random access channel, RACH). The network side device can periodically send broadcast messages to all the electronic devices registered to the network through the network side device in the coverage area of the service cell managed by the network side device through the broadcast channel. Among the electronic devices receiving the broadcast message, the electronic device in the idle state performs neighbor measurement based on the second neighbor measurement configuration information in the broadcast message.

It should be noted that, before the cell in which the mobile terminal resides is not handed over, the broadcast message carrying the neighbor cell measurement configuration information may be sent only once. That is, in the process that the mobile terminal resides in a certain cell, the neighbor cell measurement configuration information used in the process of performing neighbor cell measurement is the same. Only after the cell in which the mobile terminal resides changes, the network side device sends a broadcast message carrying new neighbor measurement configuration information to the mobile terminal.

In the second neighbor cell measurement procedure, the positioning service request of the mobile terminal may be actively generated by the mobile terminal, and when the mobile terminal determines that the positioning service request exists, neighbor cell measurement may be performed based on neighbor cell measurement configuration information in a broadcast message from the network side device.

After the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information is obtained when the mobile terminal is in the idle state, whether neighbor cell measurement can be performed or not can be judged, specifically, whether the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the first neighbor cell measurement configuration or not can be judged. I.e. S1202, S1203 and S1204 are performed.

S1203, the mobile terminal obtains the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell.

The specific implementation of S1203 may refer to the related expression of S603 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

And S1204, the mobile terminal judges whether the signal quality parameter of the target service cell is smaller than a neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment. The neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device is neighbor cell measurement configuration information carried by the broadcast message, where the neighbor cell measurement configuration information is specifically second neighbor cell measurement configuration information mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, and the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information may specifically include a second measurement threshold and a third measurement threshold. In the embodiment of the present application, determining whether the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information carried by the broadcast message specifically includes: and judging whether the signal quality parameters of the target serving cell are smaller than the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold.

The signal quality parameter in the present application may be RSRP, and the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are thresholds corresponding to RSRP. Of course, the actual signal quality parameter may also be other parameters that may represent the signal quality of the cell, for example RSRQ, SINR, RSSI, and the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold may also be adjusted accordingly, which is not specifically limited in this application according to the actual situation. The following embodiments are the same.

In the embodiment corresponding to fig. 12, if the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell may be considered to be smaller than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, and according to the existing neighbor measurement logic, it may be determined that the mobile terminal needs to perform neighbor measurement, that is, S1205 is executed.

In the embodiment corresponding to fig. 12, if the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are equal to the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell may be considered to be equal to the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device.

In the embodiment corresponding to fig. 12, if the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell may be considered to be greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, and it may be determined that the mobile terminal is currently unable to perform neighbor measurement according to the existing neighbor measurement logic. Thus, the mobile terminal cannot acquire sufficient neighbor information, and thus cannot accurately position. In order for the mobile terminal to acquire sufficient neighbor cell information, it is necessary to force the mobile terminal to perform all neighbor cell measurements at this time even if the mobile terminal forces S1205.

In one possible implementation, the manner in which the mobile terminal is forced to perform the neighbor measurement may be to ignore the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device. In this implementation, after S1204 is performed, in the case where the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, referring to fig. 12, the mobile terminal may directly force S1205.

In another possible implementation manner, the manner of forcing the mobile terminal to perform neighbor cell measurement may further improve the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, so that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the new measurement threshold. Therefore, the mobile terminal can conduct neighbor cell measurement according to the existing neighbor cell measurement logic. In this implementation, after S1204 is performed, in the case where the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, referring to fig. 11, S1204A may be performed first. After S1204A, S1205 is executed again.

S1204A, the mobile terminal increases the neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, so that the increased neighbor cell measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target service cell; alternatively, the neighbor measurement threshold is ignored.

The neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment is specifically a second measurement threshold and a third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information. Increasing the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device may specifically mean that both the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are increased. The fact that the increased neighbor cell measurement threshold is greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell may specifically mean that both the increased second measurement threshold and the increased third measurement threshold are greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell.

After the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both raised to be greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the mobile terminal may re-perform S1204. At this time, the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, so the judgment result in S1204 is that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is less than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, and then S1205 is executed. Of course, after the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both increased to be greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, the mobile terminal may directly perform neighbor cell measurement, i.e. directly execute S1205, because it is determined that the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell. Therefore, the purpose of forcing the mobile terminal to perform neighbor cell measurement under the condition that the signal quality of the target serving cell is smaller than the original measurement threshold is achieved.

It should be noted that, in the second neighbor cell measurement procedure in practice, a judging step similar to S1204 may not exist, after S1203, the mobile terminal may execute S1205 when the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device; in case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, S1204A is enforced.

S1205, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on a target frequency point to which the target serving cell belongs and a first frequency point and a second frequency point in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment to obtain neighbor cell measurement results.

The neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device may specifically refer to second neighbor measurement configuration information carried in the broadcast message.

The specific implementation of S1205 may refer to the relevant description of S605 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

In some embodiments, in order to avoid that the neighbor cell measurement duration is too long, the specific implementation of S1205 may be referred to the related description of fig. 10 in the foregoing embodiments and will not be repeated here.

In some embodiments, the second neighbor measurement configuration information may further include a priority of the target frequency point, a frequency point priority of each first frequency point, and a frequency point priority of each second frequency point. In some possible implementations, the number of serving cells corresponding to the frequency points with higher priority may be greater. Based on this, in order to enable the mobile terminal to more quickly obtain the neighbor cell information of more neighbor cells when performing neighbor cell measurement, S1205 may specifically include: and the mobile terminal sequentially performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point according to the order of the priority of the target frequency point, all the first frequency points and all the second frequency points from big to small so as to obtain neighbor cell measurement results. Of course, the actual setting of the frequency point priority may also relate to any other possible content, for example, the fewer electronic devices corresponding to a certain frequency point, the higher the frequency point priority of the frequency point. Under the condition, if the neighbor cell measurement is performed according to the order of the priority from large to small, the loads of different frequency points can be more balanced, the stability of the whole communication network is improved, and the use experience of a user can be better ensured.

And S1206, the mobile terminal performs positioning based on the neighbor cell measurement result.

The specific implementation of S1206 may refer to the implementation related to S606 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to S1201-S1206, for the mobile terminal in the idle state, when the signal quality of the serving cell where the mobile terminal resides is better, the mobile terminal can forcedly perform complete neighbor cell measurement to obtain neighbor cell information enough to perform positioning. Furthermore, the mobile terminal can complete positioning based on sufficient neighbor cell information, so that the positioning requirement of the mobile terminal is met, the function of the mobile terminal with the positioning requirement can better provide services for users, and the use experience of the users is improved.

In some embodiments, for an electronic device in an idle state, in the case where both the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell in which the electronic device is currently camping, except for the manner in which neighbor measurement of all frequency points (the target frequency point, the first frequency point, and the second frequency point) is forced to be completed by ignoring the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold or raising the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold so that both the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell as in the example shown in fig. 12. Based on the requirement that the positioning only needs to acquire the first preset number of neighbor cell information and the requirement that the neighbor cell measurement time length is reduced as much as possible so as to avoid adverse effects on normal use of the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can only perform neighbor cell measurement on one part of frequency division points, and can not perform neighbor cell measurement on the other part of frequency division points under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information obtained after performing neighbor cell measurement on the part of frequency division points is enough to the first preset number. And carrying out neighbor cell measurement on the other part of frequency division points under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information obtained after neighbor cell measurement is carried out on the part of frequency division points is not enough to the first preset number.

Based on this, referring to fig. 13 in conjunction with fig. 12, after S1204, in a case where it is determined that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, the method may further include S1301-S1305:

s1301, the mobile terminal increases a first target measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information, so that the increased first target measurement threshold is larger than a signal quality parameter of a target service cell; alternatively, the first target measurement threshold is ignored.

The first target measurement threshold may be a second measurement threshold or a third measurement threshold.

S1302, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold, and a first neighbor cell measurement result is obtained.

If the first target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold is the target frequency point; if the first target measurement threshold is a third measurement threshold, the frequency points corresponding to the first target measurement threshold are a first frequency point and a second frequency point.

The specific implementation manner of the mobile terminal for performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold may be any feasible implementation manner, and the application does not specifically limit the implementation manner.

In the case that the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information includes the priority of the target frequency point, the frequency point priority of each first frequency point, and the frequency point priority of each second frequency point, S1302 may specifically be: and the mobile terminal sequentially performs neighbor cell measurement on each frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold according to the order of the priority of each frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold from big to small.

In addition, in order to avoid the adverse application of the excessively long neighbor cell measurement duration to the normal use of the user terminal, in the step 1302, it is also required to ensure that the neighboring cell measurement duration of the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold is not excessively long. The mobile terminal may stop the neighbor cell measurement action when the duration of performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold reaches the first target duration, and determine neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold currently as a neighbor cell measurement result. The first target duration may be determined according to actual requirements.

After S1302, S1303 or S1304 is executed, which is specifically determined according to the number of neighbor cell information obtained after performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold.

And S1303, if the number of the neighbor cell information in the first neighbor cell measurement result is greater than or equal to a first preset number, the mobile terminal determines the first neighbor cell measurement result as a neighbor cell measurement result.

The positioning meeting the requirement can be completed only by the first preset number (or more) of neighbor cell information, so that if the number of neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold is already enough to the first preset number, the whole neighbor cell measurement flow can be ended, namely, the neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold is determined as a neighbor cell measurement result.

S1206 is performed after S1303.

S1304, if the number of neighbor cell information in the first neighbor cell measurement result is smaller than the first preset number, the mobile terminal increases a second target measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information, so that the increased second target measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell; alternatively, the second target measurement threshold is ignored.

The second measurement threshold is the other one of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold except the first target measurement threshold. Specifically, if the first target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the second target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold; if the first target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold, the second target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold.

S1305, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold to obtain a second neighbor cell measurement result, and adds the second neighbor cell measurement result to the first neighbor cell measurement result to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result.

If the second target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold comprises a target frequency point; if the second target measurement threshold is a third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold comprises a first frequency point and a second frequency point. And adding the second neighbor cell measurement result into the neighbor cell measurement result obtained in the first neighbor cell measurement result, wherein the neighbor cell measurement result comprises all neighbor cell information in the first neighbor cell measurement result and the second neighbor cell measurement result.

In the case that the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information includes the priority of the target frequency point, the frequency point priority of each first frequency point, and the frequency point priority of each second frequency point, S1305 may specifically further be: and the mobile terminal sequentially performs neighbor cell measurement on each frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold according to the order of the priority of each frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold from large to small, so as to obtain a second neighbor cell measurement result, and adds the second neighbor cell measurement result into the first neighbor cell measurement result to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result.

In addition, in order to avoid the adverse application of the excessively long neighbor cell measurement duration to the normal use of the ue, in executing 1305, it is also required to ensure that the total neighbor cell measurement duration of the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold is not excessively long. The mobile terminal may stop the neighbor cell measurement action when the total duration of neighbor cell measurement performed on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold and the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold reaches the second target duration, and determine neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the first target measurement threshold and the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold currently as a neighbor cell measurement result. The second target duration may be determined according to actual requirements.

Furthermore, the number of the neighbor cell information can meet the positioning requirement as long as the number reaches the first preset number. Therefore, before the time length of performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold reaches the second target time length, if the sum of the number of neighbor cell information in the first neighbor cell measurement result and the number of neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the second target measurement threshold reaches a first preset number, the mobile terminal can stop the neighbor cell measurement action and determine the first preset number of neighbor cell information as the neighbor cell measurement result.

In some embodiments, the measurement speed of the same-frequency neighbor cell is generally faster than that of the different-frequency neighbor cell when the neighbor cell is measured because the same-frequency neighbor cell only needs to measure and evaluate the signal on the current channel, and the different-frequency neighbor cell only needs to switch and measure on the channel with different frequency. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to make the speed of obtaining the first preset number of neighbor cell information faster, in order to make the neighbor cell measurement performed for positioning shorter, the first target measurement threshold may be a second measurement threshold, where the second target measurement threshold is a third measurement threshold. In this way, the mobile terminal can preferentially measure the same-frequency neighbor cells corresponding to the target frequency point, and further can obtain neighbor cell information of a first preset number faster.

S1206 is performed after S1305.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to the S1301-S1305, the mobile terminal can perform neighbor measurement on a part of frequency division points under the condition that the signal instruction of the cell where the mobile terminal resides is good in an idle state, and enough neighbor information can be obtained by performing neighbor measurement on the part of frequency division points, so that the time and the power consumption of the whole neighbor measurement are reduced while the subsequent positioning accuracy is ensured, and the problem that the mobile terminal cannot be normally used due to overlong neighbor measurement users is avoided. Under the condition that enough neighbor information cannot be obtained by performing neighbor measurement on only a part of frequency division points, neighbor measurement can be performed on all the frequency division points, so that the enough neighbor information is ensured to be obtained, the mobile terminal can be positioned completely and accurately, and the use experience of a user is improved. In summary, based on the above technical solution, the mobile terminal can acquire enough neighbor cell information by adopting a proper forced measurement means under the conditions of an idle state and a better signal instruction of a cell where the mobile terminal currently resides, thereby meeting the positioning requirement of the mobile terminal.

In some embodiments, for an electronic device in an idle state, in addition to two cases that the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are both smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell where the electronic device currently resides, and the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are both greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell where the electronic device currently resides, if the sizes of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold are different, there may be a case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell where the electronic device currently resides is between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold. Specifically, if the second measurement threshold is greater than the third measurement threshold, the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell being between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold means that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the second measurement threshold and less than the third measurement threshold; if the second measurement threshold is smaller than the third measurement threshold, the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell being between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold means that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is larger than the third measurement threshold and smaller than the second measurement threshold.

In this case, based on the requirement that the positioning only needs to acquire the first preset number of neighbor cell information, and the requirement that the neighbor cell measurement duration is reduced as much as possible to avoid adverse effects on normal use of the electronic device, the electronic device may perform neighbor cell measurement on a frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold that is greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell. And under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information obtained by neighbor cell measurement is enough to the first preset number, neighbor cell measurement can be no longer carried out on the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold which is smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target service cell. And under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information obtained by neighbor cell measurement of the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold is not enough to the first preset number, the neighbor cell measurement is forcedly carried out on the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold.

Based on this, referring to fig. 14 in conjunction with fig. 12, S1204 may specifically be replaced with S1401, and the method may further include S1402-S1406:

and S1401, the mobile terminal judges whether the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are both larger than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell.

And if the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are both greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, S1205 is executed. And if the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are not both greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, S1402 is executed.

It should be noted that, in the actual second neighbor cell measurement procedure, a judging step similar to S1401 may not exist, after S1203, the mobile terminal may execute S1205 when both the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, and execute S1402 when both the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are not greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell.

S1402, the mobile terminal judges whether the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell.

Under the condition that the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor measurement configuration information are smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, it can be determined that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is larger than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, and according to the existing logic, at the moment, neighbor measurement cannot be performed, at the moment, the mobile terminal can force neighbor measurement, that is, after S1204A is executed, S1206 is executed. Of course, in this case, S1301-S1305 may also be performed in order to minimize the neighbor measurement period. This is not particularly limited in this application. In fig. 14, only the case where S1204A is executed and S1206 is executed is described as an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Under the condition that the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor cell measurement configuration information are not smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell, it can be determined that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is located between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, and at this time, neighbor cell measurement can be performed on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold first, that is, S1403 is executed.

S1403, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold, and a third neighbor cell measurement result is obtained.

The third target measurement threshold may be one of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold that is greater than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell. If the third target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold is the target frequency point; if the third target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold is the first frequency point and the second frequency point.

The specific implementation of S1403 may refer to the relevant expression of S1302 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

S1403 is followed by S1404 or S1405, where the number of neighbor cell information obtained after performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold is specifically determined.

And S1404, if the number of the neighbor cell information in the third neighbor cell measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset number, determining neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold as a neighbor cell measurement result by the mobile terminal.

The positioning meeting the requirement can be completed only by the first preset number (or more) of neighbor cell information, so that if the number of neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold is already enough to the first preset number, the whole neighbor cell measurement flow can be ended, namely, the neighbor cell information obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold is determined as a neighbor cell measurement result.

S1206 is performed after S1404.

S1405, if the number of neighbor cell information in the third neighbor cell measurement result is smaller than the first preset number, the mobile terminal increases a fourth target measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information, so that the increased fourth target measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell; alternatively, the fourth target measurement threshold is ignored.

The fourth target measurement threshold is one of the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, which is smaller than the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell. Specifically, if the third target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the fourth target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold; and if the third target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold, the fourth target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold.

S1406, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold to obtain a fourth neighbor cell measurement result, and adds the fourth neighbor cell measurement result to the third neighbor cell measurement result to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result.

If the fourth target measurement threshold is the second measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold comprises a target frequency point; if the fourth target measurement threshold is the third measurement threshold, the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold comprises a first frequency point and a second frequency point. And adding the fourth neighbor cell measurement result into the neighbor cell measurement result obtained in the third neighbor cell measurement result, wherein the neighbor cell measurement result comprises all neighbor cell information in the third neighbor cell measurement result and the fourth neighbor cell measurement result.

The specific implementation of S1406 may refer to the related expression of S1305 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.

S1206 is performed after S1406.

Of course, when the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is located between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, the mobile terminal may also directly force the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point to perform forced measurement, that is, execute the technical schemes corresponding to S1204A to S1205 shown in fig. 12, which is not limited in this application.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to S1401-S1406, the mobile terminal can perform neighbor measurement on only a part of frequency points corresponding to the third target measurement threshold which can be measured according to the existing logic under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell in an idle state and currently residing is located between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, and can perform neighbor measurement on only the part of frequency points under the condition that enough neighbor information can be obtained by performing neighbor measurement on the frequency points corresponding to the third target measurement threshold which can be measured according to the existing logic, so that the time and the power consumption of the whole neighbor measurement are reduced while the subsequent positioning precision is ensured, and the problem that the mobile terminal cannot be normally used due to overlong neighbor measurement users is avoided. Under the condition that enough neighbor information cannot be obtained by performing neighbor measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the third target measurement threshold, neighbor measurement can be further forced on the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold which cannot perform neighbor measurement according to the existing logic, so that the enough neighbor information is ensured to be obtained, the mobile terminal can be positioned completely, accurately and completely, and the use experience of a user is improved. In summary, based on the above technical solution, the mobile terminal may acquire enough neighbor cell information by adopting a suitable measurement means under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell in an idle state and the current residence is located between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, thereby satisfying the positioning requirement of the mobile terminal.

In the neighbor cell measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device (for example, the mobile terminal) obtains the neighbor cell measurement result, cell switching may be performed according to the displayed switching logic, or cell switching may not be performed. This is not particularly limited in this application.

In practice, when the signal instruction of the serving cell where the mobile terminal resides is good, the action of forcing the neighbor cell measurement is not an action specified by the 3GPP protocol, and the energy consumption of the mobile terminal is large, so as to reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal as much as possible and enable the mobile terminal to perform the neighbor cell measurement according to normal logic in most cases.

After the mobile terminal forcedly performs neighbor cell measurement to obtain a neighbor cell measurement result, stopping the related action of forcedly measuring within a second preset time period, namely stopping the action of neglecting the measurement threshold or stopping the action of improving the neighbor cell measurement threshold.

In the embodiments corresponding to fig. 6 to fig. 8 and fig. 10 to fig. 14, after executing S605, S1205, S1303, or S1305, the mobile terminal may stop the related action of forced measurement within the second preset duration, that is, stop the action of ignoring the neighbor measurement threshold, or stop the action of raising the neighbor measurement threshold, in the case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device. The stopping of the action of ignoring the neighbor cell measurement threshold refers to that in the second preset duration after S605 or S1205 or S1303 or S1305, if the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the mobile terminal resides is larger than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, no forced neighbor cell measurement is performed. Even if there is a positioning requirement, the forced neighbor measurement is not performed. The act of stopping increasing the neighbor cell measurement threshold means that, when the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, after executing S605 or S1205 or S1303 or S1305, the increased neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device is reduced to the original neighbor cell measurement threshold before the increase, and in the second preset duration, if the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the electronic device resides is greater than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, neighbor cell measurement is not performed.

Based on this, in some embodiments, in a case where the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is greater than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, after executing S605 or S1205 or S1303 or S1305, the neighbor measurement method further includes: and in the second preset time period, if the signal quality parameter of the service cell where the mobile terminal resides is greater than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, the mobile terminal does not conduct neighbor cell measurement. The neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment is determined according to the state of the mobile terminal, and if the mobile terminal is in a connected state, the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment is neighbor cell measurement configuration information (namely first neighbor cell measurement configuration information) carried by reconfiguration information; if the mobile terminal is in an idle state, the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment is neighbor cell measurement configuration information (namely second neighbor cell measurement configuration information) carried by the broadcast message.

Of course, if the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the mobile terminal resides is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device within the second preset duration, the neighbor cell measurement can be performed on the target frequency point to which the target serving cell belongs and the first frequency point and the second frequency point in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device.

Wherein the beginning and ending of the second preset duration may be determined by the mobile terminal by starting a second timer. The timing duration of the second timer is a second preset duration.

In addition, for the technical solution corresponding to S604A (or S1204A), after executing S605 (or S1205), the first neighbor cell measurement procedure (or the second neighbor cell measurement procedure) further includes: the mobile terminal reduces the neighbor cell measurement threshold after the improvement in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment to the neighbor cell measurement threshold before the improvement.

Therefore, the mobile terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement according to the normal measurement logic specified by the 3GPP, so that the mobile terminal is prevented from forcedly performing neighbor cell measurement for many times in a short time, the power consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In the embodiment corresponding to fig. 14, after executing S1406, the mobile terminal may stop the related action of forcibly measuring the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold within the second preset duration, that is, stop the action of ignoring the fourth target measurement threshold, or stop the action of raising the fourth target measurement threshold, in the case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold in the second neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device. The stopping of the action of ignoring the fourth target measurement threshold refers to that in the second preset time period after S1406, if the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, the forced neighbor cell measurement of the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold is not performed. And even if the positioning requirement exists, the forced neighbor cell measurement of the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold is not performed. The stopping the operation of raising the fourth target measurement threshold means that after S1406, the raised fourth target measurement threshold is lowered to the original fourth target measurement threshold before raising, and in the second preset duration, if the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, the forced neighbor cell measurement of the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold is not performed.

Based on this, in some embodiments, after performing S1406, the neighbor measurement method further includes: and in the second preset time period, if the signal quality parameter of the serving cell where the mobile terminal in the idle state currently resides is between the second measurement threshold and the third measurement threshold, the mobile terminal does not perform neighbor cell measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the fourth target measurement threshold. In addition, for the technical solution corresponding to S1406, after S1406 is executed, the second neighbor cell measurement procedure further includes: the mobile terminal reduces the fourth target measurement threshold after the improvement in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side equipment to the fourth target neighbor measurement threshold before the improvement.

In practice, the frequency points in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information sent by the network side device to the mobile terminal are all frequency points belonging to the same operator. In practice, the neighboring cells around a certain serving cell may include cells of each operator, and the cells belonging to the same operator may not be enough, and even if all the neighboring cell information is measured, the neighboring cells may not be enough to achieve accurate positioning. Therefore, after the mobile terminal performs the neighbor cell measurement to obtain the neighbor cell measurement result, if the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result is smaller than the first preset number, that is, the number of neighbor cells of the neighbor cell information obtained by the measurement after the mobile terminal performs the neighbor cell measurement is smaller than the first preset number. The mobile terminal needs to increase neighbor cell measurements on frequency points of other operators to obtain a sufficient amount of neighbor cell information. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application further provides another neighbor cell measurement method, referring to fig. 15, the method may include S1501-S1508:

S1501, the mobile terminal is started up and logs on the internet through the network side equipment to reside in the target service cell.

The specific implementation of S1501 may refer to the relevant description of S601 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

S1502, under the condition that the mobile terminal has positioning requirements, the mobile terminal receives neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment.

The specific implementation of S1501 may refer to the relevant descriptions of S602 or S1202 in the foregoing embodiments, which are not repeated herein. The target frequency point of the target service cell, the first frequency point in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information and the second frequency point in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information belong to a first operator.

S1503, the mobile terminal acquires the signal quality parameters of the target serving cell.

The specific implementation of S1503 may refer to the related expression of S603 or S1203 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

S1504, the mobile terminal judges whether the signal quality parameter of the target service cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment.

In case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, S1505 is performed. In case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor measurement threshold in the neighbor measurement configuration information from the network side device, S1505 or S1504A is performed.

The specific implementation of S1504 may refer to the relevant expression of S604 or S1204 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

In addition, the implementation of the mobile terminal performing the neighbor cell measurement after S1503 may refer to the related expressions of the examples shown in fig. 13 and fig. 14 in the foregoing embodiments, which are not repeated herein.

Of course, in practice, whether or not to perform the neighbor measurement after S1504 is performed may also depend on the existing neighbor measurement logic. Specifically, in case that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in the neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side device, S1505 is executed. And under the condition that the signal quality parameter of the target serving cell is smaller than the neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment, neighbor cell measurement is not performed, namely the whole neighbor cell measurement flow is ended. In this case, S1504A may not exist.

S1504A, the mobile terminal increases the neighbor cell measurement threshold in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from network side equipment, so that the increased neighbor cell measurement threshold is larger than the signal quality parameter of a target service cell; alternatively, the neighbor measurement threshold is ignored.

The specific implementation of S1504A may refer to the related expression of S604A or S1204A in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

S1505, the mobile terminal performs neighbor cell measurement on the target frequency point to which the target serving cell belongs and the first frequency point and the second frequency point in neighbor cell measurement configuration information from the network side equipment to obtain neighbor cell measurement results.

The specific implementation of S1505 may refer to the related expressions of S605 or S1205 in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described herein.

S1506, selecting at least one third frequency point from the preset frequency point set and carrying out neighbor cell measurement on the third frequency point to obtain a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result is smaller than the first preset number.

The supplementary neighbor cell measurement may include neighbor cell information of at least one neighbor cell.

The preset frequency point set may be a plurality of frequency points in a preset sequence before the number of corresponding serving cells in all frequency points of each operator in the whole network acquired by a mobile terminal manufacturer by using a big data technology. For example, if the a operator has 10 frequency points and the number of serving cells corresponding to the frequency point a, the frequency point b, and the frequency point c in the 10 frequency points is the first 3 in the previous preset order, and the ranking result of the number of serving cells corresponding to all 10 frequency points is the first three. The preset frequency bin set may include frequency bin a, frequency bin b, and frequency bin c. The operator to which the third frequency point belongs is not the first operator.

In some embodiments, based on the same reason that S6051 and S6052 are performed in the foregoing embodiments, in order to avoid that the neighbor cell measurement duration is too long because the number of frequency points to be measured is too large, so that larger power consumption is generated and the use of the positive service in the mobile terminal is affected, the number of at least one third frequency point may be smaller than the target number, which is the sum of the numbers of the three frequency points, i.e. the target frequency point, the first frequency point and the second frequency point. Meanwhile, the total duration of execution of S1506 should be less than the third preset duration. Based on this, S1506 may specifically include S1 and S2:

s1, under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information in neighbor cell measurement results is smaller than a first preset number, the mobile terminal selects at least one third frequency point from a preset frequency point set, and performs neighbor cell measurement on the at least one third frequency point within a third preset time period.

The third preset duration may be any feasible duration value, which is not specifically limited in this application.

In some embodiments, since S1505 itself has already performed a neighbor cell measurement for a certain period of time, in order to further reduce the entire neighbor cell measurement period of time, the third preset period of time should be smaller than the first preset period of time mentioned in the previous embodiments. In some embodiments, the third preset duration may be the difference between the first preset duration minus the duration consumed for performing S1505 to obtain the neighbor measurement result.

In an exemplary implementation manner, S1 may specifically be that the mobile terminal may start a third timer, where a timing duration of the third timer is a third preset duration. And in the process of timing by the third timer, the mobile terminal can perform neighbor cell measurement on at least one third frequency point.

S2, stopping the neighbor cell measurement action when the third preset time period is over, and determining neighbor cell information of the neighbor cell obtained by performing neighbor cell measurement on at least one third frequency point currently as a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result.

In an exemplary implementation manner, S2 may specifically be an action that the mobile terminal stops the neighbor cell measurement when the third timer expires, and determines neighbor cell information of the neighbor cell obtained by performing the neighbor cell measurement on at least one third frequency point currently as a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result.

Based on the technical schemes corresponding to the S1 and the S2, the mobile terminal can limit the time required to be consumed for neighbor cell measurement in the process of obtaining the supplementary neighbor cell measurement result, and the problem that the service of the mobile terminal cannot be normally used due to overlong neighbor cell measurement is avoided.

In addition, it should be noted that if a certain third frequency point exists in at least one third frequency point, which is the same as the target frequency point, or a certain first frequency point, or a certain second frequency point, when S1506 is executed, neighbor cell measurement is not performed on the third frequency point. Repeated measurement of the same frequency point is prevented, and repeated neighbor information is obtained.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the sum of the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result and the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result acquired in S1205 is supplemented, and as long as the first preset number is reached, the subsequent accurate positioning can be completed. Acquiring more neighbor information only causes the increase of power consumption, and has little effect on improving the positioning accuracy. Based on this, S1 may further include: before the third preset time period is over, if the neighbor cell information of the second preset number of neighbor cells is obtained through measurement, the mobile terminal stops the neighbor cell measurement action of the third frequency point, and determines the neighbor cell information of the second preset number of neighbor cells as a supplementary neighbor cell measurement result. The second preset number is a difference value of the first preset number minus the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result.

S1507, the mobile terminal combines the supplementary neighbor cell measurement result with the neighbor cell measurement result to update the neighbor cell measurement result.

S1508, the mobile terminal performs positioning based on the neighbor cell measurement result.

The specific implementation of S1508 may refer to the relevant description of S606 in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated here.

Based on the technical schemes corresponding to S1501-S1508, the mobile terminal may measure frequency points of other operators under the condition that the number of neighbor cell information in the neighbor cell measurement result is insufficient to perform accurate positioning, so as to obtain sufficient neighbor cell information. And further, accurate positioning can be completed, and the use experience of a user is improved.
